Today – January 30, 2014 – gives us the second of two new moons to occur in a single calendar month. Some are calling it a Black Moon. It’s also a supermoon, the second of this month. The first new supermoon of January came on January 1. A single calendar month won’t harbor two supermoons again until January 2018. Will you see it? No. But it’ll affect the tides.
